Chapter 506: Traps

Loeb is the leader of the Pine Tree Tribe, and his father used to be the head of the tribe, but unfortunately in the extermination war a few years ago, in order to protect him and some of the tribesmen from leaving, his father resolutely led the tribe's warriors to rush to the enemy, buying them time to escape, but unfortunately he died on the battlefield.

After escaping the catastrophe, Loeb and the rest of his tribe hid in the mountains, where they lived only by hunting and gathering wild fruits, but due to the lack of food and the harsh environment, many of them fell ill and died, and in the end only more than 100 people remained. And later, after knowing that the enemy had withdrawn from the pine plateau, they dared to return to live again.

Thinking of what happened to his tribe, Loeb couldn't help but sigh, and at the same time felt a great hatred for the tribe that killed his father, but he also knew that there was no way for him to take revenge in his life, because just a few months ago, more than a dozen people from other tribes fled to the plateau, only to be caught and killed by them, and before the other party died, he learned from these people that the tribe that killed his father was defeated by the Han people in the outside world, and later exterminated by the dwarf blacks.

Originally, the dwarf blacks were ordered to wipe out all the native tribes, and the Keku River valley was also in their purge, and the various tribes had been greatly injured because of the previous war, and they were not the opponents of the dwarf blacks at all, so they were exterminated one after another, and the young and strong men and women were crawled to be sold as slaves, and the dozen or so people who fled to the pine tribe were the victims of one of the tribes. Fortunately, the information that the dwarf blacks may have received shows that the Pine Tribe had been wiped out a few years ago, and the Pine Tribe is blocked by the mountains, making it very difficult to get in and out. So the dwarf blacks simply ignored the pine tribe.

After hearing this information, Loeb and the other tribesmen were relieved. I'm glad I escaped. But it was this news that made Loeb determined to kill those people. Because he was worried that the arrival of these people would leak the news of the existence of their pine tribe, so the dozen or so outsiders were all killed.

Thinking of the vengeful gazes of the dozen or so men before they died, Loeb smiled disdainfully, and then the harpoon in his hand suddenly thrust down, just enough to put a large harpoon swimming in front of him at the bottom of the river.

"Haha, the head man has inserted another fish, and it just so happens that each of us can get one!" I saw Loeb insert another big fish. The clansmen who were also holding harpoons and waiting for fish by the river said happily, and the others were also happy.

The tribal structure of the pine tribe is very simple, it can be said that it is still in the primitive social period, everything in the tribe belongs to the head people, and at the same time belongs to everyone, as long as there is a need, anyone can use it, as for necessities such as food. It is also distributed fairly, of course, the power to distribute the food is in the hands of the head, and for the results of the distribution. No one is allowed to object, otherwise it will be seen as a provocation to the leader, and in the worst case, even death.

Here is a wide river. But the river is not deep, and the water is very clear. Standing on the shore, you can see large and small fish swimming in the water. The men of the Pine Tribe, who came with Loeb, stood in groups of three or five in the river. Holding a harpoon in his hand, he stared at the fish in the water motionlessly, and from time to time someone suddenly dropped the harpoon in his hand, but it was often empty.

Loeb put the fish he had caught in a basket, then looked up at the sky again, and found that the sun was about to set, and immediately opened his mouth and ordered: "This is here today, everyone clean up, it's time to go back to the tribe!" ”

Hearing Loeb's order, everyone in the river relaxed, and everyone went to the shore, and then packed up the fish they had caught today, picked up their harpoons and began to walk towards the tribe.

The Pine Tribe now has forty-one young men, and they account for thirty of them, and the remaining eleven men guard the tribe, after all, it is not peaceful on this plateau, and occasionally some wild beasts will rush into the tribe, and there may even be outsiders, so the security in the tribe must not be relaxed.

Thirty men carried harpoons, and the harpoons carried the fish they had caught this day, and while discussing the dinner for the evening, they hurried to the tribe, although the river was still some distance from the tribe, but they were used to it, so they were very fast, but it was only a meal, and they returned to the tribe.

It's just that as soon as he returned to the tribe, felt that something was wrong, and then a clansman flew over, panting and said: "Leader, it's not good, Su Luo is gone, we have searched all around the tribe, but we still can't find anyone!" ”

"What?" Loeb was also very anxious after hearing this, Su Luo is his wife's brother, and he is also the second highest status in the tribe, usually he takes people out hunting, Su Luo is responsible for arranging the affairs of the tribe, the other party will never disappear for no reason, and according to his duties, he will not leave the tribe too far. It is precisely because of this that Suro's disappearance seems a little strange to Loeb's eyes.

"Are there any signs of a beast or an outsider?" Although Loeb was in a hurry, he still asked with a calm look, his intuition told him that this matter was probably not simple, so he had to ask first.

"No, we searched the surroundings and found no footprints of beasts or strangers!" Ringo and Shorty are both experienced scouts, so they naturally know how to deal with them so as not to leave any traces.

"Chief, should we send someone to look for it?" While Loeb was pondering, the man who had returned with him suggested that Suro was one of the most important people in the tribe after all, and that he was now missing, and that he would not be able to do so if he did not go out and look for him.

Loeb also knew that he should send someone to look for it, but he always felt a little uneasy, this uneasiness had happened before, that is, a few years ago, the night before their tribe was wiped out, so he felt very hesitant, and after a while, Loeb made up his mind and said, "Wait a minute, let's go back to the tribe first......"

Before Loeb could finish speaking, he heard a rush of footsteps not far away, and then a man from the Pine Tribes ran over and hurriedly said, "Chief, we found a pool of blood, and it's not far from the tribe!" ”

"Take me to see it!" Although Loeb was very uneasy in his heart, and he was about to go back to the tribe just now to check the situation, but now that even the blood has been found, then he, the leader, must go and see it. But even in this case, Loeb remained calm, he asked the two tribesmen to take all the prey of the day, and then led thirty young Zhuang tribesmen, armed with harpoons, to the place where the blood was found.

This is a road leading to the tribe's rice fields, and the road is full of footprints, and not far from the tribe, a dark red blood stain appeared on the road, and this blood stain also extended into the distance, it seemed to be in the direction of the rice field. Seeing this situation, no matter how careful Loeb is, he must take his people to take a look at the bloodstains, otherwise he has no way to explain to his people.

This path has been walked countless times, but this situation today makes him extremely nervous, and now that the sun has set, there is only a touch of sunset in the west, but unfortunately this sunset does not shine on the ground, so on this plateau, darkness has come.

Loeb and they walked along this path for a short time, and when they were on the way, they found several suspicious pools of blood, which made Loeb have some suspicions in his heart, as if someone was deliberately leading them to this direction, could it be that there is some trap in this?

Just as Loeb was trying to make the people stop, they had already rushed to the front of a forest, and as long as they passed through this wood, it was the rice field of the tribe, but when Loeb looked at this dark forest, he suddenly felt a fear in his heart, because if someone really set a trap, then this forest was the best place to ambush.

"Hey, there's someone over there, it seems to be Su Luo!" Suddenly, someone beside Loeb shouted, and following the direction he pointed, he saw a person lying in the weeds to their right, looking at the clothes on his body, it seemed to be Su Luo.

Seeing this, he didn't need Loeb's order at all, and the clansmen behind him rushed up, wanting to see what happened to Su Luo? However, before they could run to Su Luo's side, they suddenly felt a softness under their feet, and then there was a 'boom' sound, and the fastest people fell into a big trap at once.

And as soon as these people fell in, they immediately let out a terrible scream, and those who were lucky enough not to fall into looked down, and all of them were frightened into a cold sweat, only to see rows of sharp wooden sticks stuck in the trap, and their clansmen were all stabbed by these wooden sticks, and even one was punctured in the stomach, and could not even scream.

And before the natives who had escaped the catastrophe were happy, suddenly from the woods next to them, "Wow! Bang! The sound of the bowstring sounded, followed by several feathered arrows shot out quickly, and under the surprise of several natives, several long arrows all hit the target, and even two people were killed by one arrow.

This finally made the rest of the natives wake up, everyone screamed, turned around and was about to escape, after all, they are not an army, just ordinary natives, in the face of unknown dangers, naturally instinctively want to flee for their lives.

It's a pity that the people in the forest didn't intend to let them go at all, and then two more wavelengths of arrows were shot, and as a result, eight or nine more people were hit by arrows, although only one or two people were really killed, but most of them were seriously injured and basically lost the strength to resist.

Loeb, who was standing on the path, was also stunned by the mutation in front of him, and when he saw the clansmen falling one by one, he came to his senses and shouted loudly for the clansmen to flee, but the other party had already set a trap for them, how could they let them escape?
